Patent number: 10469080Abstract: An operation unit comprises a touch panel display, a home key and a power saving key. The power saving key includes an indication portion, and a first indication portion out of the indication portion has light permeability, and a color of its surface is a dark color, and a second indication portion has no light permeability or has it hardly, which is constituted by a double-layered print. In a surface side of this second indication portion, a figure indicative of a power saving key is printed in silver ink, and in a rear side thereof, a figure indicative of the power saving key is printed in black ink. In a normal state, when a backlight is lit, a surface of the first indication portion is bright, and a surface of the second indication portion is darker than the surface of the first indication portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasushi Nakamura, Osamu Kawata

Patent number: 8932419Abstract: Disclosed is a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer which is obtained by reacting at least one polyoxyalkylene polyol (A), at least one monool (B1) soluble in the component (A) and/or at least one silane coupling agent (B2) reactive with an isocyanate group, at least one polyisocyanate (C) and at least one hydroxylated mono (meth)acrylate compound (D) at a ratio at which the equivalent weights of hydroxy groups, active hydrogen groups and isocyanate groups in the respective components satisfy the following formulae (1)-(3). The urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer does not substantially contain an unreacted isocyanate group. B(active hydrogen)+D(OH)=C(NCO)?A(OH) (1) 1.05?C(NCO)/A(OH)?2 (2) {C(NCO)?2A(OH)+2m}×0.35?D(OH)?{C(NCO)?2A(OH)+2m}×0.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinobu Ogawa, Kazutoshi Doki, Osamu Kawata, Yoshihiro Tani
